Note: Personal pronouns do not use the apostrophe for the possessive case.
Examples: his, hers, its, ours, yours, whose, theirs
Note: don't mix up: whose and who's (=who is); your and you're (=you are); theirs and there's (=there is). When there are two forms, think about the contraction form. The contraction almost always follows the rule, so the possessive must be the exception to the rule.
